Freshwater aquaculture

NACE v2.0 Code: A03.22

About freshwater aquaculture

NACE code 03.22 covers the industry of freshwater aquaculture, a vital component of the global food production system. This industry focuses on the farming of various aquatic organisms, such as fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, in controlled freshwater environments. Freshwater aquaculture plays a significant role in meeting the growing demand for seafood, contributing to food security and economic development, particularly in regions where wild capture fisheries are limited.

Production process

The main production techniques used in freshwater aquaculture involve the controlled breeding, rearing, and harvesting of aquatic species. This typically includes the use of ponds, tanks, or other enclosed water bodies, where the organisms are raised under carefully managed conditions. Techniques such as water quality monitoring, feeding regimes, and disease control are crucial to ensure the health and growth of the aquatic species.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the freshwater aquaculture industry include water resources, fish or other aquatic species for stocking, feed and nutrition, specialized equipment (e.g., pumps, aeration systems, and water treatment systems), and skilled labor. The availability and quality of these inputs are critical factors in the success and sustainability of freshwater aquaculture operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the freshwater aquaculture industry are the harvested aquatic species, which can include various types of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. These outputs are then typically sold to 10.20 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and mollusks or 46.38 Wholesale of other food, including fish, crustaceans and mollusks for further processing, distribution, and consumption.
